Welcome to the Slate Valley Museum!

The Slate Valley Museum celebrates the history and culture of the quarrying community that was established along the New York-Vermont border in the 1800s. Many of the Slate Valley quarries are still in operation, producing most of the colored roofing slate sold throughout the United States today.

From improvements in roads and waterways to post office murals, many of the things around us today were completed during this time.
